...The Long Dry Spell Continues...

The long dry spell continues across Alabama, and for most places this will
be the 20th day in a row with no rain. The dry, pleasant weather will
continue through Friday.

An easterly flow could set up a "wedge" effect tomorrow and Friday with
cooler daytime temperatures over the eastern half of the state.

A NERVOUS GULF: While our weather stays calm, a large area of disturbed area
is sitting over the western Gulf of Mexico. We will have to keep an eye on
this area for signs of tropical development since water temperatures are
warm and winds aloft are not too harsh. But, even if a tropical system does
not develop, this big blob of moisture will move north, and then northeast,
and could bring an end of our dry days.

Clouds will thicken on Saturday, and some rain could reach the central and
northern part of the state by Saturday afternoon. Then, we will highlight
periods of rain Saturday night into Sunday as a surface low moves eastward
through the extreme northern Gulf of Mexico. While the heaviest rain should
be over the southern counties of the state, we might see one-half to one
inch of rain around here.

Drier air returns by late Monday of next week, with relatively cool and dry
weather for the mid-week period.

COLDER DAYS?: The long range models continue to suggest the coldest air so
far this season moving into Alabama sometime in the October 16-20 time
frame, which has the potential to bring early morning temperatures in the
30s in the colder north Alabama valleys. A deep upper air trough is expected
to form over the eastern U.S. in about 10 days, and should bring very chilly
air to much of the nation east of the Mississippi River.
